To do this: 1 Choose File > New > Blank File. 2 Enter options for the new image: Name Names the new image file. Preset Provides options for setting the width, height, and resolution of images that you intend to print or to view on-screen. Select Clipboard to use the size and resolution of data that you copied to the clipboard. You can also base a new image on the size and resolution of any open image by choosing its name from the bottom of the Preset menu. Width, Height and Resolution Sets these options individually. The default values are based on the last image you created, unless you've copied data to the clipboard. Color Mode Sets an image to RGB color, grayscale, or bitmap (1-bit mode). Background Contents Sets the color of the image background layer. White is the default. Select Background Color to use the current background color (shown in the toolbox). Select Transparent to make the default layer transparent with no color values-the new image will have a Layer 1 instead of a Background layer. 3 Click OK. To process multiple files The Process Multiple Files command applies settings to a folder of files. If you have a digital camera or a scanner with a document feeder, you can also import and process multiple images. (Your scanner or digital camera may need an acquire plug-in module that supports actions.) Note: You can also batch import files from Adobe Bridge. The option is available only if files are sent from Bridge to Photoshop Elements. When processing files, you can leave all the files open, close and save the changes to the original files, or save modified versions of the files to a new location (leaving the originals unchanged). If you are saving the processed files to a new location, you may want to create a new folder for the processed files before starting the batch. 1 Choose File > Process Multiple Files. 2 Choose the files to process from the Process Files From pop-up menu: Folder Processes files in a folder you specify. Click Choose to locate and select the folder. Import Processes images from a digital camera or scanner. Opened Files Processes all open files. 3 Select Include All Subfolders if you want to process files in subdirectories of the specified folder. 4 For Destination, click Browse and select a folder location for the processed files.
